Arizona Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 That'll do me. Lets not make the mistake Derby made in the playoffs and think the job is done at SMS.
Saint_clark Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Que, sara, sara.... I'd expect us to appeal that red card.
John B Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Good result the team played well looking forward to the return game
lamanga Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Dave Merrington says " Well we've got half the loaf..."
Saint137 Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Apparantly it would appear that the referee was a bit of a homer
Tractor_Saint Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Was it worth 4 yellows and 1 red though????
Justin Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 phew, hard fought win,esp sec half but feel confident !!
Saints Mad Si Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Well done lads, shame about spiderman! 90 minutes away from Wembley!!!
Boris Karloff Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Nice win. I fear we're going to miss Morgan with Hammond out though.
Minty Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Ground out a good result in the end, under a fair bit of pressure 2nd half but only one real scare as they hit the post and a few half decent, but comfortable saves for Davis to make. Very very happy with the result which is all that matters. Just a shame that we will now lose another central midfielder for a few games.
Charlie2008 Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Get in!!!! Yellows, yellows... (repeat)...
Vershinin Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Ref was a **** but good result to bring to SMS. COYR
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Couldn't really ask for much more than that. I only saw the second half and missed the penalty incident so can't make a judgement, but I thought Saints kept the ball well and didn't panic when we went down to 10 men. Ref had a bit of a shocker but we should be used to that by now in L1. Clean sheet away from home and now we have the psychological edge for the return leg at SMS. Bring it on!!!
Under Weststand Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Well that should have been so much easier, but made to be difficult by a complete tool of a ref. That was quite possibly the worst group of officials I've ever seen. Good result in the end, just need to start the same way at home & finish the job off. COYR
gary r Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 great result and i am in thr maldives for the return leg
John B Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Que, sara, sara.... I'd expect us to appeal that red card. Why he pushed him in the face not allowed
Saint_clark Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Anyone recording it able to put the goal and sending off on youtube?
Saint J 77 Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 will it be the same ref dor the second leg? He was very bias toward the MK Dons IMO. I hope we dont get him again! Good result though, now lets destroy them at home
Window Cleaner Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Que, sara, sara.... I'd expect us to appeal that red card. doesn't much matter. Ipswich isn't important and Brentford and Stockport can be handled with what we have available.
Toadhall Saint Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 That'll do for me! Thought the ref was ****e mind!
Huntingdon Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Great win I know some fans hate him, but Lloyd James was excellent - a really important player for us
rocknrollman no2 Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Glad about the result,but that ref was a right t-at. Hopefully we can keep it together for the second leg.
SuperMikey Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Very happy with the performance by the lads today, we looked great out there. Fonte looks class at the back, really settled us down. Mills didn't look that brilliant, had a tendency to hoof the ball rather than play it but otherwise quite good. Shame that Lambert didn't get to have a shot on target really, because I had a feeling he'd score. That ref was f*cking useless though, it was a clear penalty with the handball, he had a clear view of it yet he decided otherwise. Also, Schneiderlin's sending off was ridiculous. The other player grabbed him by the shirt after MS went over to apologise, then MS pushes him away and he gets sent off for it, a straight red as well! If I was AP i'd be furious with that decision. Lets just hope we can come through the second leg as strongly as we did today, and set ourselves up for a nice day out at Wembley! COYR!
BadgerBadger Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Good result and a good performance, given ourselves a great opportunity - make no mistake MK Dons will open up a can of woop ass at SMS as they have nothing to lose but it'll make for a great match and we'll edge it.
.comsaint Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Well done lads - and a special thanks to our magnificent travelling fans who were - without doubt - the 12th man! aNice goal Antonio son!
brightspark Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Very very good performance, extremely positive about that. Fonte and Schniederlin excellent (when on the field!!!). Lambert a handful - play like that and we'll easily be promoted by 2011 - and we could easily get our hands on a trophy!!! Ratings: Davis 8, Mills 6, Perry 6, Fonte 9, Thomas 7, Wotton 6, Schniederlin 8, James 7, Antonio 7, Lambert 7, Lallana 6 Great goal from Antonio, but boy isn't he hit and miss? Frustrating and a joy all in one!!!
John B Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Apparantly it would appear that the referee was a bit of a homer No just understood the rules which unfortunately our players did not
alpine_saint Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Can someone explain what Scheiderlin got sent off for, please ? I missed the game completely.
Tractor_Saint Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Anyone recording it able to put the goal and sending off on youtube? Can do tomorrow but little lad in bed where the computer that can do that stuff is
S-Clarke Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Great effort, a brilliant away performance. Antonio was great, but Fonte was the best player on the pitch. Complete class act, read everything - nothing ever got past him. No idea @ the ref, how that was a red i don't know. Ok he put his arms up to his face, but it was ****ing gleeson who nearly strangled him in the first place FFS - two yellows, surely? We really dug in though, great efforts from the senior lads in perry and wotton (who was brilliant doing his normal spoiling job). James had a good game too, but we didn't keep it on the deck as much as we can. - we play much better that way. we've got a massive chance of going to wembley now though, MK Don's really aren't up to much at all tbh.
St Landrew Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Good result and we defended the lead with a clean sheet. We're short on midfielders, at the moment, though. I don't think we can take a chance and muddle through.
saintkiptanui Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Why he pushed him in the face not allowedSo whats he meant to do if a player has his hands round his throat??? ref was a budgie but despite that we hung on, up the saints.
Saint_clark Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 No just understood the rules which unfortunately our players did not Sorry, but some of the decisions that officiating team made were ridiculous. Antonio shielding the ball - just STANDING there and shielding the ball - is a foul apparently.
dubai_phil Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Bollix. Blasted Saints ALWAYS do that to me.... Emirates & BA have a sale on with really cheap flights for me & Eric in March. We SHOULD have scored 3 or 4 with the superiority we had but oh no, they let us down again. Still too tight to call only 0-1 so no way can we book the flights and of course the sale's over by the time the next leg comes around... Gosh darn it. OK didn't see an away win coming, well done Saints, great work by MS & mention to Wotton in midfield, but BIGGEST mention to the 3,000 fans who went. Awesome job peeps
S-Clarke Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Can someone explain what Scheiderlin got sent off for, please ? I missed the game completely. Hands up to a players face - he didn't slap him or punch him, just raised hands. It was in retaliation to nearly getting strangled by their player, make of that what you will.
benjii Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Great win I know some fans hate him, but Lloyd James was excellent - a really important player for us He was. Fantastic. In fact, the midfield three were all very good although Wotton got a bit too deep at the end.
martel Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Lovely win! A good win yes, however, and I can only give an opinion based on what I read on the BBC text during the game, it seemed like we were camped in their half and only won by one goal. Surely this underlines the need for another striker to assist Lambert, please Mr. Connelly get fit soon, or a goal scoring mid field player.
brightspark Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Thought the ref was ****e mind! Red card was harsh but reasonable too. The only two decisions he got wrong all night was the handball that he missed (although it seemed everyone missed it other than the commentator) and that "foul" against Antonio for going into the corner flag (with thanks to the linesman) I'm a ref, and I thought he controlled the game quite well - it could have got nasty.
Charlie2008 Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 FFS: Player has gone! ...move back home? ... :confused:
brmbrm Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 great result and i am in thr maldives for the return leg Wanna swap with my ticket?
alpine_saint Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Hands up to a players face - he didn't slap him or punch him, just raised hands. It was in retaliation to nearly getting strangled by their player, make of that what you will. Worth appealing ?
gjphilsaint Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Fonte was immense... overall a good team performance.. Ref was ****.. MK over aggressive... good result... dont slack in return leg!
Vershinin Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 No just understood the rules which unfortunately our players did not So standing in the corner with the ball is a foul? Handling the ball in box isn't a penalty. Ref was a prize c.u.n.t
LGTL Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Brilliant, lets just get the job done now at SMS and have a great trip to Wembley. Antonio reminds me of a young Kenwyne Jones, totally hit and miss at the moment, but he's only 19. Feel he will be a great player in a few years time.
kernowsaint Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 I thought Antonio was immense. Really worked his socks off, as did they all. COYR
St Landrew Posted 20 January, 2010 Posted 20 January, 2010 Can someone explain what Scheiderlin got sent off for, please ? I missed the game completely. Can you get this, Alpine..? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8444293.stm
